re: How do you baws split expenses with the wife?

My wife makes good money, it all goes into one pot

Couples who split shite up and fight over money usually don’t last

So y’all are like roommates? Cool

I pay all of them while she sits on her lazy arse

I’m too lazy to deal with splitting stuff, it’s all our money anyway. Maybe if we got married later in life and each had our own money things would be different. But we started everything together from nothing.

We have separate spending accounts but the same amount gets direct deposited into each every two weeks.

I don't give a shite what she spends it on. It's just money for gas, lunch, Amazon or whatever. Makes it easier to keep up with the bill and savings accounts without wondering what that $75 was for. Everything else is joint. It works for us.

Just when I think all of you are a bunch of asses, y’all redeem yourselves with stuff like this.

Very sweet

Fall guy is like the most down to earth poster on this board

We were both in our 30s when we married. So we both had been living on our own for over a decade. (with our own retirement, etc).


Plus...we make around the same so there isn't a big difference in income.


There isn't a right or wrong way regarding this imo. It's whatever system works for the couple.

Team Mabry over here. We both contribute...she makes more money but I ensure I pay my half. I haven’t pocketed a VA disability check in a while, but my mortgage is paid on time.
